In 2024 we were voted best of Golden in NINE categories including pizza, wings, and family restaurant as well as TOP 100 YELP PIZZERIAS, YELP Top 50 Places to Eat in Denver and Pizza Company of the Year in the Mountain West!!! We also have incredible Gluten Free and Vegan options.

I love Woody’s!! Every time I am in Golden, I make sure that this is an item on the itinerary. The all-you-can-eat pizza and salad buffet is a classic choice, but there are also lots of other menu options to explore. The wood-fired pizza is made with Colorado-style tucked-under crust, and each table comes equipped with some local clover honey to top it off. The staff is always super friendly, and it seems like the place runs very efficiently. The atmosphere is busy but cozy, with booth and table seating, eccentric Colorado-themed decorations, indoor and outdoor seating, a bar, and even trivia nights!
Woody’s is super popular, so there is almost always a wait for a table around dinnertime. Definitely show up early and get on the wait list. I like to walk around town and get ice cream before dinner! All members of your group must be present before you will be seated.
The prices are slightly steep, but it appears they do pay their workers fairly, as there is a line item on the receipt for a “fair wages fee” or something along those lines. Additionally, the food is so yummy and nostalgic that it is worth the price.

We tried Woody’s about a year ago and told ourselves the next time we’re in the Golden area we have to go back again. And so we did!
We started out sharing a bowl of the Beer Cheese soup since we had heard a lot about it. Our honest opinion, it’s pretty darn good but if they just added a little bacon to the recipe they could take it over the top.
Ordered a large, Woody’s Golden Backpack and it was simply excellent! The crust is chewy in the right places and crispy in the right places. The sauce has just the right mix of heat/sweet without interfering with the flavor. Toppings were generous and flavorful.
They probably don’t need another review since the place always seems to be packed, with a line out the door, and people standing around on the sidewalk waiting to get in. I’m sure the all-you-can-eat buffet has something to do with it. When we were younger we would’ve jumped all over the buffet, but at our age, it’s just a bit too much (probably because we’d get so full we couldn’t move, and then they’d have to wheel us out)!
As far as beers go, I really liked the Dry Dock Apricot Blonde.
Needless to say, we highly recommend, and we will be back on our next visit to Golden!

For those of you who live in Colorado and are not far from Golden, do not miss this amazing treat. The staff is amazingly friendly, and the food is incredible. Some of our favorites are the spicy honey ricotta pizza (see photo), and the fig pizza. Also try the beer cheese soup and dip your pizza crust in it. It’s to die for. This is now the second time we got the pizza buffet and it does not disappoint. Do not miss experiencing Woody’s in Golden.

The atmosphere is awesome inside. The wings and pizzas we ordered were very good. The gluten free crust is good…not the best gluten free pizza I’ve had, but it is still certainly delicious. I’ll be back!

Kaleh was our server yesterday. We sat outside, it was such a beautiful day. The pizza buffet was Amazing! Not a fan of the Bloody Mary Mix, the toppings were great! KALEH was so good with our little girl. That is always a plus with dining out with Children!

Great food made with the beat ingredients. Hords of folks show up for the pizza, but I like the “Hobo”, or Philly Chease steak. We come here for the awesome dog friendly outside seating. This place is allways busy but they manage the people and all the pups very well. They love dogs and Anna took great care of us.

Went here Thursday, August 28, and at 6:43 p.m., ordered for take-out at Window D their “Backpack” pizza, regular crust. I twice said small but the order taker asked for the price of a large. Either she put it in wrong, or was trying to pocket $10. The pizza was ok, but nothing special. We ate it on the back porch which was sort of nice, after a rainstorm, but no view. I went inside for a moment and was amazed people wanted to be crammed in like that. Leaving town we drove past the Golden Mill, which I did not know about before, and I now wish we had gone there instead.

What a fun place! Staff was amazing too We got the all you can eat buffet that included salad bar, soup and pizza. We also tried several local beers that were delicious. The soup was beer cheese potato and it was delicious! Especially for dipping your pizza crust I loved every kind of pizza we tried but the hot honey ricotta with basil was my favorite. Even though it’s buffet style you can order any pizza and they will make it and call it over the intercom for you to run up and grab a piece. You can also order personal pizzas and tons of other menu items like wings, burgers and sandwiches. They also have a ton of different alcoholic drinks to choose from. We opted for the buffet because it was the same price as each of us ordering a personal pizza. The wait was not terribly long for table either, we sat at the bar and were half way through our beers when we were seated. This was a really fun experience that I recommend for families and pizza lovers ❤️
